Finacle 3 Tier Architecture

A basic premise

Technologies change but Fundamentals don’t.

These fundamentals are basic architecture principles

Interoperability (Modifiability)

Availability

Flexibility (Modifiability)

Scalability and Performance

Usability

Security

All of these objectives are to be achieved keeping TCO in control

Interoperability – Finacle management framework

• Finacle can integrate with HP OpenView , Tivoli Enterprise Console or its own op-console

Interoperability – Application Response monitoring

• ARM provides mechanism to correlate sub-transactions within a main transaction. ITCAM for RTT shows linkage between nested transactions graphically.

Interoperability – Invoke jobs through central scheduler

Job Id is assigned by

Finacle Batch scheduler for

jobs of type “external”

Job is passed branch

id which can be used

for parallelization
